Event Description

Agriculture has come a long way from the family farm. Canada’s agri-food sector was highlighted by the federal government’s Advisory Council on Economic Growth Report as one of Canada’s high-potential sectors for growth with exports alone generating more than $55 billion per year. In fact, roughly one in nine Canadian jobs depend on the agriculture system. Here in Ontario, where we have just over half of Canada’s best (Class 1) farmland, the agriculture sector is a significant driver of the local economy.

That’s why, whether you work directly with agriculture or not, it’s important to have a handle on some of the key factors that are impacting this vital industry.

Join on February 27th for a hot breakfast buffet and panel discussion at Western Fair District with some of the area’s leading agriculture experts

The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition recently brought together stakeholders directly involved in wheat and barley plant breeding in Winnipeg to discuss the future of the sector. Participants included the Canadian Barley Research Coalition, Seeds Canada, the University of Manitoba, the University of Saskatchewan Crop Development Centre and the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Alberta. In a joint statement Thursday, the groups said they agreed that Western Canada’s wheat and barley breeding system should be innovation-driven, while allowing collaboration and competition to exist side by side.
